Definition of JEL Classification Codes:
These define a classification system for books and journal articles relevant
to the economic researcher. The list has three levels of precision:
categories A-Z, subcategories like A0-A2 (these are used to classify books),
and sub-subcategories like A10-A14 (which are used to classify journal
articles). The second level is detailed here; for the complete set of
possible JEL codes see any issue, e.g. in the Sept 1997 issue, pages
1609-1620. The list below comes from that same issue, pages 1437-1439. A
more up-to-date list is online at
